Does Johnny Alpha exist in 15mm or is there a figure near enough to be converted without it being too much of a faff?
…not to mention the other characters – Wulf, Durham Red etc. |

I'm afraid to ask who Johnny Alopha is, and Strontium Dog. Dan |

He's a character from 2000AD comic book, a Strontium Dog being a mutant bounty hunter, as is Durham Red, a female mutant with vampire tendencies. Wulf is Johnny's partner. Worth checking out the back catalog & the recent fan film on you tube,
Cheers,
Wilf PS cheers boggler, our replies overlapped! |

That's too cool! The idea of a hero with daddy (identity) issues is entertaining too, in a dark comedy sort of way: "Following an atomic war in the mid-22nd century, Johnny Kreelman was exposed to Strontium 90 radiation while still in his mother's womb. His father, Nelson Bunker Kreelman, was a politician with strong anti-mutant policies and was disgusted at having a mutant for a son and hid Johnny from the public until his early teens."

PS. It should come with a warning like this, but for radioactive material:

There must be some sort of adventurer from Alternative Armies' Laserburn range that fits the bill. |

That was my first thought and there are a couple that are close but not quite close enough. |

Definitely a pulpy-Judge-Dredd-ish tone to the whole concept. I liked the fan film, thanks! |

Loved this strip, so will definitely be keeping an eye on this thread. As far as the helmet looking odd, it's 70s sci-fi. Has to be forgiven for that. On a slightly related note, does anyone know whatever happened to Simon Harrison, his art on the 'Feral' storyline was astounding. |

Definitely a pulpy-Judge-Dredd-ish tone to the whole concept. Both Dredd and Johnny Alpha were originally created by John Wagner & Carlos Ezquerra – legends both! |

The helmet contains a video camera and recorder. In the fan film Johnny hands over a video slug of what has happened to the police officer as evidence in claiming the bounty. |

Ah, another classic Rogue Trader inspiration. Too bad so much of this earlier inspiration got left behind. -Eli |

Best I can come up with for Johnny is doing a head-swap on a Laserburn Sentinel Law officer for an open face helmet of some description and bulk up with a bit of GS. Trim the badge, smooth the shoulder pads off with some more GS – knees are a bit of pain since Johnny doesn't have knee pads! So either ignore or try and trim down. |
